Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $5.9 million spent. Feeding Children Everywhere, Inc. (the "Organization") is a Florida not-for-profit corporation established to empower and mobilize people to assemble healthy meals for hungry children and their families. The Organization organizes scalable food packing events. These events are held primarily throughout the United States. The Organization implemented its first program in 2010 named Hunger Projects, allowing donors and volunteers to make a difference in the lives of hungry children, individuals and families worldwide. Hunger Project events consist of the packaging, shipment and donation of food to other nonprofit organizations in need. Those locations range from within the community near the packing sites, to international nonprofit organizations, or distributed directly to individuals and families through the Full Cart program. In an effort to diversify the Organization's revenue streams for operational and mission impact consistency, management developed a direct food delivery program named Fed 40. This program launched in 2016 and was intended to test the viability of direct shipment for food assistance packages. This program shipped over 350,000 meals within eighteen months of the pilot. The feedback received revealed an important component of need, which led the Organization to pilot to a larger scaled version of the program named Full Cart. The Full Cart Program, an online grocery delivery system model, was designed for individuals and families simply seeking a lower-cost alternative to expensive online food delivery programs within the domestic United States. Bringing Full Cart to scale required an adjustment in the Organization's warehouse capacity, a realignment of staffing needs and a change to our fundraising model. The Organization's donors include individuals, businesses, wholesalers, educational institutions, religious organizations, technical services and professional service organizations that provide the Organization with usable food, funding and resources to support our programs.
